    Update on my hip flexor: doc thinks it might be a torn labrum and basically told me I'm SOL if that's the case. Said it would be time to move to "low impact" activities, although I'm only 29 and cycling is pretty darn low impact, so I wasn't real impressed with that. I'm getting an MRI in a couple of weeks and then we'll see -- if no tear, I'll go to PT, so here's hoping....

    Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

    I think it helps to find a rehab specialist (whether it's a physician, PT or some other specialty) who participates in your sports, or failing that, who is an athlete of any kind. Otherwise they tend to take the attitude that you should be glad you can get out of bed unassisted and wipe your own butt, since they deal with so many people who can't. Preventing yourself from getting into that position just isn't in a lot of their vocabulary. You might ask around through your local clubs or shops.

    Hope the MRI shows no tear and PT is effective.
